Confined Spaces

Training is necessary for supervisors, stand-by person, workers entering confined spaces as well as rescue personnel. Examples of a confined space include such areas as pits, man holes, holding tanks and vats. It is a Department of Labour requirement that everyone involved is properly trained by a competent trainer. The training program should include at least the following:

• the hazards of confined spaces;
• assessment procedures;
• control measures;
• emergency procedures
• the selection, use, fit and maintenance of safety equipment.

The employer should record the topics covered in the training and the names of trained employees. Our training course covers the above and meets the requirements of the following unit standards
